MacEnvy:I don't mean to offend anyone, but I honestly can't believe that anyone over the age of 13 actually watches this stuff. What is the appeal?

I have always liked it. It is fun to see how the companies try to do new things with new players. It is like any other show I watch on a weekly basis. I also like to see how the matches are scripted and what the crowd reacts to. Mostly it is that few times a year when I have no idea how a match is going to end and I lose myself in it. Sure it is scripted but sometimes it doesnt matter. Sometimes they put on such a great show that my weekly suspension of disbelief disappears and it seems the same is it did when I was 13. I guess I enjoy everything about it, good and bad.

For me it is the fun people in these threads as much as anything. Its like we are all sitting in the theater riffing on the shows mst3k style. I also watch fishing shows, though saltwater fishing only. That is mainly because I fish flats and offshore and like to get new tips and ideas. I dont watch the bass tournaments or anything like that.

For me it's the trifecta of theatre, athletics, and some good old-fashioned fun. I started at the height of the Hogan era, faded for a bit from the steroid trials to the Attitude era, and I've remained a fan ever since. These days I think I watch as much for the quirks, which allow me to crack bad jokes in these threads.
